looks done versus being done
Grape Rows & Mountains - digital painting / art prints- Dan Beck 2005
Irrigate 1 - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2004
There is a quality that both of these digital paintings share. They have a similar amount of detail, a similar amount of translucence, […]
Time, Space, and the Endlessness of Creativity
Jazz 3 - digital painting and art prints - 2005 - Dan Beck
Music exists in time and space, but not so much in vision - though one might not know that with the advent of music videos and of course live performance from the get-go.
It is not two dimensional […]
quilted blades and aerial spray have added meaning
Quilted Spray - art prints / digital painting - Dan Beck - 2005
I am featuring this piece today - one because I gallery chanced and image rouletted upon it and two because it is getting to that time of year. Spring is rampant here and pollen and […]
limits, language, and symbolism
Symbolic Language 7 - digital painting - Dan Beck 2007
I thought this was pretty cool when I just finished - interesting, layer upon layer. I tried coloring only by tinting sections - the most subtle way of coloring I have at my disposal.

Sunset Startled - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2005

I write because I stumbled upon it today. I write because there is always something more to be said about a painting I like - and […]
CD art before recording - digital art before purchasable prints
Red Eye Recordings - cover art - Dan Beck 2007

I am hoping to record some of my music from the last year or so. I came up with […]
Pretending the Ides of March
Shape of Something New - digital painting / art prints - 2005
I took a quick scan through my images and looked for something representative of the betrayal of the Ides of March. The digital painting above has nothing to do with that - but it does look like that could […]
focus to harness an awkward imbalance
Field Fitting - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006
I don’t know if one can tell by looking, but this was a challenge for the eyes to make. A lot of the piece was done by filling in lines - not like conventional painting but with the unique […]
